As a Servers GATE web hosting customer, you’ll create subdomains (separately from your main domain) in the Subdomains function in cPanel. For instance, if you have a forum for your site, you’ll create a subdomain called “forum” and the address would be “forum.example.com”
Many people use subdomains for mobile versions of their websites, forums, blogs, and stores. They’re easy to make and we’ll walk you through setting one up now.
If you’re not pointed to Servers GATE Hosting’s Name servers, you must ALSO create the subdomain where your Name servers are hosted, then point the subdomain’s “A record” to your Shared IP address.
Create a Subdomain
1. Log into your cPanel
2. Go to the Domains section and click on Subdomains.
3. Type in the name of the subdomain and choose the domain to make it under. It’ll automatically create a folder for the subdomain in your public_html folder.
4. Click the Create button.
It can take up to 24 hours for a new Subdomain to propagate (show up on the web).
Congratulations, you’ve added your first subdomain!
